Each harness re-runs the C++ side with --codec-fused after the
buffered run and gates on codes-full.bin equality between the two:
the decode path cannot change the predictor, so any divergence is a
bug. The fused run's perf lines land in the log as [Perf Fused] next
to the buffered ones, so every grid cell carries the buffered vs
fused comparison per backend and quant.
The fused audio itself is not scored here: greedy amplitudes vanish
in the streamed PCM_16 and the fused FP envelope has its own
validation against the stream path.
The left context of the buffered chunked decode is no longer a caller
knob: it derives from the codec's own sliding window (2x144 frames),
placing the default decode at the residual floor of the split.
codec_chunk_sec moves from qt_tts_params to qt_init_params, resolved
once to frames at load. The mid-struct removal bumps the ABI to a
closed range [QT_ABI_MIN_VERSION, QT_ABI_VERSION] = [4, 4]; the probe
asserts both bounds reject through the range check.
mel-spk and mel-mag dumps in speaker-encoder-extract.h applied an extra
ggml_transpose plus cont before write. Raw ggml ne=(C, T) already
streams as numpy [T, C], so the transpose was inverting axes vs the
python upstream. Removed it.
MelMag 0.04 -> 0.999, MelSpk 0.92 -> 0.998
spk_conv1d_same passed ggml_im2col a kernel ne=(K, 1, IC, 1) and an
input ne=(T_pad, 1, IC, 1) with IC in ne[2]. But the im2col impl reads
IC = b->ne[1] when is_2D=false, so it saw IC=1, wrote OW*K floats into
a buffer declared for OW*IC*K floats, and mul_mat consumed 99% garbage.
Moved IC into ne[1] for both kernel and input, which makes the impl
read the real IC and writes a buffer coherent with the declared ne. The
permute and the retranspose after pad become unnecessary, dropped both.
SpkFrontend 0.74 -> 0.994, SpeakerEmb 0.86 -> 0.996
Adds ECAPA bisection infrastructure : 4 stage out params in
speaker_encoder_forward (frontend, block3, mfa, asp), codec encoder
intermediate dumps in pipeline-codec.cpp (seanet-out, enc-transformer
out, codec-pre-fsq), matching pytorch hooks in debug-clone-cossim.py.
